Throwing lemons

During Timkat (Epiphany), Ethiopians have a unique way of flirting. The men throw lemons at women they find attractive. If the woman is interested in the man, she picks up the lemon and kisses it. If she ignores the lemon, the suitor is rejected. A few people I spoke to met their spouses in this silly way.
